Alec discusses where he ranks the film and the guys discuss the cinematography of Roger Deakins and his partnership with director Sam Mendes. Ben explains how the narrative breaks with convention. Alec shares a rumored casting decision that was not to be. The guys discuss the physical nature of Craig's Bond as well as speculation on what a Bond reboot might look like. The conversation shifts to how Javier Bardem elevates the film. Ben also explains how the filmmakers manipulated viewers with Judi Dench's character M. The discussion quickly shifts into an unofficial Daniel Craig 5 Film retrospective... shaken, not stirred.
